#FreeAlber Photos & Blasphemy Rights

The petition to Free Alber Saber is still going strong over on Change.org: if you haven’t signed yet, please do, and share with friends! The good people running the Free Alber Facebook Page are now collecting photos of people holding signs that say “Free Alber” or some variation thereof. I’m embarrassed that it took me several days to get around to doing mine – please don’t mimic my mistake! You can also put your pic on Twitter under the #FreeAlber hashtag.

I’m excited to see how the Campaign helps get out the word about these injustices so we can work toward fixing them. Here’s the video:
